Re: Finally gave in (HX-35 DA Build thread)
wow, those vids are a whole lotta ----. Who's got a real digicam around here?
I'll lock the bolts down with some locktite, maybe some drilled head screws for wire to secure them, not a problem. I'm just pissed I ASSumed they would've come back from being rebuilt already torqued.

Wondering if I should run it as is, or have it checked out and rebalanced again.
Got the front bumper put back on, and stock headlights in. Can't see a damn thing to let you know it's turbo now. Only giveaway will be the noise. Just gotta find out why my turn signals stopped working and put an exhaust on er and I can get it inspected. On the road to bein legal.

Drove by the shop today, from the pics I figured you'd be able to tell a little that its turbo but you cant see squat, atleast from 30 feet away. Looks like a regular old teg sitting in the lot.

Re: Finally gave in (HX-35 DA Build thread)
Broke again, simple though. Had a kid that works for me take it for a drive, took a vid of the first little pull he did, he needs a little practice but I don't get many oportunities to get it out on the road.
Anyway he beat on it a little while we drove away from where any cops would be and the car seemed much slower, popped the hood and found a big hole in the elbow I have coming off the turbo. New it would happen just hoped it would last a little longer.
Oh yeah, I got a few more parts in the mail waiting to go on
